335 pitches thrown so far between the 2 teams.

12 hits through 5 and nothing since. Frustrating.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 04:09 PM) a couple three pitchers

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 03:52 PM) Of course not. How would our approach be different in that inning if we were only down 1?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 03:50 PM) If only Dotel didn't give up that run in the 6th. Our style of play in that last inning might have been a bit different. I doubt Paulie would have been bunting.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 03:49 PM) We've had our chances with the right people up to tie this game today, but we can't seem to get over the hump. Yet

ugh

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 03:44 PM) Shows how much I pay attention. DOH! We might have to trade you for someone from the Indians message board. Or just flat out release you.

In other news the Twins lost again.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 03:32 PM) Dotel - if he's bad with hitter #1, he's not recovering, that's his MO. Get him out of there. An unusual instance where he recovers from a shaky start. Limits the damage.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 03:31 PM) Dotel and Carrasco didn't do their job today (or Richard for that matter)

So who was saying we have the best bullpen in MLB?

Dotel looking very sharp. Not!

Pordea for 1 more could have helped save a little for tomorrow at the dome in case we needed bullpen help. Stupid move.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 03:28 PM) Dotel in for Poreda? Man, he must not be stretched out at all. He did throw 46 pitches. That's got to be the most since he's been up with us.

Dotel? I would have let Poreda start the inning.

We've got 12 hits through 5. Alexei and Beckham need to get in on the action.

Getz with another single. 3 for 3 on the afternoon.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 03:16 PM) I think Poreda can give us one more. I'd tend to agree.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 03:13 PM) Well he was starting in Charlotte before the call-up, but he hasn't been stretched out like that in weeks. hard to say. Yeah I meant since he's been up with us. I can't imagine he could go 5 innings today.

What's the longest outing by Poreda with us? How much longer will he be effective?

Poreda makes Shin-Soo Choo Choo back to the bench by striking him out.

Sizemore Ks looking. 2 outs

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 03:04 PM) Wedge is mocking Ozzie. Or doing an impression. I ran away from the desk for a while. Did we try sacrificing last inning?

Sacrifice bunt in a barn burner? Wtf!?!
